Daytona Beach Newb
Hey just bought a a 69 olds 442 out of new york and am looking to start restoring it. While trying to do more research about the car i found this site and am hoping this will provide me with the tech help i need.
I am used to working on cars but have always been around newer chevy's and for some reason i keep getting dragged into chrysler to help my friends out. I know very little about oldsmobile, their motors, transmissions, and what to look for interior wise. I bought this car to rebuild and give to my father as a gift.
I apologize upfront if i ask any questions that get asked to often I will do my best to use the search function. I am part of many other forums where newbs clog up the pages with questions that have been hashed out many times and are extremely easy to find with a little bit of effort.
If anyone is local in daytona, central florida, or up towards jacksonville I would love to pick your brain and possibly see what you have so i know which direction i need to run in.
Thanks again

Welcome to this site! You will find lots of detailed knowledge here, just for the asking. I finished restoration on my '68 4-4-2 conv 4 1/2 years ago and this site was most valuable for finding out info I didn't know. I also have a '69 that's next - when the money is there to do it! Enjoy this site, post pictures of your car, and ask questions at will!
